this is a good instrument, but you must know that their are right handed and left handed flutes. is your 5th grader left handed or right handed. please research more before buying it.

I purchased this for my 6th grader, beginning band. Checked with Band teacher and he approved. My daughter has been using it for over two months and its been perfect. No complaints and as far as I can tell, sounds no different to any other beginner flute.

I am sure that this is a good price for an instrument, because at one time I was going to buy an instrument for my son it was was more expensive that I ended up renting the instrument. This is absolutely reasonable, my granddaughter is enjoying her flute.

Yes its excellent for an 8 year old. I bought it for my daughter and although she was 11 she was also a beginner. Her band teacher said it was perfect. So yes its good for an 8 year old.

Yes. I think it would be very good. I bought it for my 50 year old husband. It has everything for a beginner.

It is good for beginners and intermediate use in school bands. A very good option for beginning musicians.

It is really small I wouldn't think so I would have returned it but its for my five year old who is a beginner.

I believe so. My 10 yr old son is a beginner and just starting lessons, but I wanted to give him something he can grow with.

I would guess this would be just right for a beginner. My 13 year old daughter does just fine with it. I would suggest going to a local music store to purchase different reeds, however. The reeds that come with it are not great, and sometimes don't work well.

I bought one for my 10 yr old and she likes it. It might be pretty hard for a 5 yr old but I would get it. It will be a fun challenge.

My set is 5 years old. It is the best thing I have ever bought for the classroom. It is great for small groups for all subjects. However, I do have to remind the students not to pound on them.

I purchased this from Amazon for my son, it is middle of the road and very good value for the price, my son is very happy with it after owning it for almost a full school year now.

depends how advanced this five year old is. my brother's 4 year old niece who has been around lego since birth (thanks uncle me) would have no problems. will for sure need some help with the -spoiler alert- rubber bands for the s-foils, and maybe some of the smaller pieces, but otherwise i say go for it! worst case scenario, you get some great father/son bonding time!!!

Honestly it's not a bad buy @ all. Considering how fast ur child will grow. My boy loved it & has already out grown it. It machine washer safe so clean it once a week to prevent a smell or mold.

If he likes it at school, he'll like it at home... the question is whether you should acquire the large set or just a "starter" for now... that's up to you!

Yes, I bought for my kids. It's great for starters. It's helpful when learning to play.

I think it would be ok for a beginner. Just make sure to watch out it dry's pretty fast.

It is good for kids of 3-5 years old. I brought it for my 4 year old daughter. She loves to build it.

I got this for an 8 yr old girl who is very athletic. It was very appropriate for her, and it's not one of those junky toys. I'd say it's too much for a 5 year old...they aren't as coordinated at that age. I did see several other archery sets on Amazon that would probably work for a 5 yr old...much simpler and easier to use.
